If the laptop is almost always plugged in and the battery is at 100%, you can expect 300-500 cycles, but your are only "using" a cycle once in a while. "Not charging the battery up to 100% increase the discharge cycles", ok it's probably true. In fact I really doubt the Wired article really make sense. My inspiration came from an Article on Wired, explaining that to improve your battery life, you must keep it charged in the 40% - 80% range. So you can plug your laptop charger on the WeMo, and a script or an app running on your laptop monitor the battery and switch the outlet on and off accordingly.Įdit: more explanations from the original blog post (the link is dead.): The WeMo is a power outlet that can be switched on and off via Wifi. I didn't find a pure Software solution, so I've set up a quick hack based on the Belkin WeMo Switch and a Node.js app.
